*Time for CK to get on the soap box!!*

When I first joined this forum back in July, I was the 1005 member. At the time, I had no idea what the Dare was, I was not due for a phone upgrade until November, and to be honest, I have no idea what made me even join the forum.

I started posting here and there, just getting my feet wet. I came across some spam one day, told the only Admin at the time LG-Dare.com, and lo and behold I became a Moderator. Now, before this forum, I had some previous Moderating experience, and even a little VB Admin experience, but not for any major forums. I graciously accepted the position, and went to work doing the best I could. A few weeks went by, I kept on removing spam, dealing with minor issues, and then one day I was promoted to Global Moderator. Woot!!

I remained a global Moderator for maybe, a month and a half or so? I am not sure. At this point, the forum was beginning to blossom, and I knew this would be a huge success. Then out of nowhere, LG-Dare.com asked me if I would like to help him Admin! I of course accepted, and in roughly 6 months, this forum has grown to 25,000 members.

Before this forum, I had no experience with being a Staff member on a large forum, much less Admin. I have learned from my mistakes, and I try my best to make this  a good experience for everyone.

*CK finally shuts his mouth and gets off the soapbox while being bombarded with rotten fruit and boos*

I bet VP already has a few images in mind....lol

Alright - i too didnt believe this would grow to be so big, it was really the members that kept me coming back, i cant remember the last time i had a technical question about my dare

Now that is a question that if I knew the answer to, would solve the spam problem entirely.
